The Horror Genre does not merely attempt to produce a purely cerebral sort of disgust in readers/ viewers. Rather, it hopes to produce a physical response or bodily symptoms of these feelings as scholars Linda Williams and Carol Clover note that the feeling of horror is a so-called "body genre" that illicits bodily responses (sweating, shaking, etc.). Much of these physical symptoms are also associated with revulsion or fear and when disability is employed in horror it therefore connects the presence of these symptoms to a reaction to the presence of the disability itself.
